Gordon Says Replays Show He Was Safe
Dee Gordon was caught stealing in the ninth inning on Friday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers attempted to rally against the Atlanta Braves.
Gerald Laird made a great throw and Gordon was called out as he tried to get in scoring position with the Dodgers trailing by a run. Slow motion replays suggest Gordon, who pinch-ran for A.J. Ellis, may have been safe.
The Braves went on to win 4-3, tying the NLDS at one game apiece.
"I watched [a replay] as soon as I came in," Gordon said. "I'm not going to harp on what he called. I thought I was safe."
Don Mattingly expressed a similar sentiment.
"Well, the view, it looks safe from our point of view," Mattingly said. "But I think we're that far away, just looks like Dee gets there before the ball gets there. And I know our replays feel like they're fairly clear, but I'm sure other people see it another way."
